Kapps not threading properly?

[John Travis <all_viri_to_ms@hotmail.com>]

I have this strange problem with Knode and Kmail.  Neither one threads 
properly.  The threads are broken and scattered.  But this only happens with 
my ISP (Road Runner).  If I use a different news/mail server everything works 
correctly.  Unfortunately I *need* the services from my provider, and this 
problem makes these apps pretty much unusable.  Usenet and mailing lists 
aren't much fun when things don't thread correctly ;-).  Any advice greatly 
appreciated.

TIA,

jt

PS  I do know I could use other apps.  I usually just use slrn for news, but 
I would like to get this sorted out nontheless :-).  And other apps like 
tin/slrn/pan/sylpheed/mutt etc. do thread correctly...wierd stuff.
